Frequently Asked Questions

Why was the blood of the lamb so important in the Passover?+

The blood on the doorframes served as a sign for the angel of death to pass over that household. According to Exodus 12:13, the blood was a covenant sign that protected the Israelites from the tenth plague—the death of the firstborn. This symbolized God's protection and became central to understanding salvation and redemption throughout Scripture.

Is the Passover still observed today, and how does it relate to Christianity?+

Yes, Jewish communities continue to observe Passover annually as a memorial of the Exodus. In Christianity, the Passover holds profound significance as it prefigures Christ's sacrifice; Jesus is called 'our Passover lamb' (1 Corinthians 5:7), and the Last Supper took place during Passover, establishing the foundation for Christian communion and the celebration of Easter.

What does it mean that this was 'a lasting ordinance' for the Israelites?+

According to Exodus 12:24-25, God commanded the Passover to be observed perpetually as a memorial for future generations. This established Passover as an annual festival that would help descendants remember God's deliverance from Egypt and reinforce their faith in God's faithfulness, making it one of the most significant observances in Jewish tradition.
